[smiles and rubs his hands together] Speaker Pipe: Except one. Donald Duck: [the sack in his thought stops filling] Huh? Speaker Pipe: The gift wrapping department. Donald Duck: [the sack of money in his thought empties and the thought disappears as he looks to the speaking pipe angrily] Is that so? Speaker Pipe: Something will have to be done... [Donald moves his finger up and down on the pipe end] Speaker Pipe: Royal buh-buh-bee-buh-buh-buh-bee-buh-boo.

[He turns the corners down] Speaker Pipe: [singing in a different voice] Ye-e-es, sir. And there's gonna do somethin' 'bo-o-out it. See more » |
